I'm still waiting for the results of the two brothers who reported that they could build new hearts, kidneys, etc. by growing cells on a soluble matrix the shape amd size of the organ needed by using "directed" stem cells! Now that would completely avoid transplant rejection,without drugs or cell manipulation affecting the recipient's imune system. This was in SCientific American a few years back. Still working on it, I guess?
Didn't anyone read/see the "Harry Potter" story in which the mandrake roots screamed when pulled up for re-potting? Everyone had to wear ear protection to avoid fatal injury!
I always thought it was an absolute hoot that AT&T had a big banner saying "Reach out and Touch Someone" in the bowling alley at the local army base. Isn't there supposed to be a policy something like "Loose Lips might Sink Ships", if too many of the military reach out with the wrong information??? Beyond that, where does the music industry get off charging $15-20 (and more) for music CD's that cost pennies to make?
